SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

This book locates  organizes and summarizes information about the use of child indicators in an
advocacy context. It provides a conceptual framework that allows readers to see a wide variety
of work as part of a unified field. It provides a description of key concepts and illustrates
these concepts by offering many examples from a range of countries and a wide variety of
applications. It covers work from governments  non-governmental organization and academics. It
describes such aspects as the use of data to educate and increase public awareness  as well as
to monitor  set goals and evaluate programs serving children. A growing number of organizations
and people are focusing on measuring and monitoring the well-being of children and these child
well-being data are often employed in ways that go beyond what is typically considered
scholarship. Many of these applications involve some type of advocacy activity. Yet  there is
very little in the literature about the use of child indicators in an advocacy context. This
book provides a framework for scholars in a variety of disciplines that will help them to
structure their thinking about the use of such indicators in a public context.
